Isotretinoin (20mg)

Overview Tufacne 20 Capsule

Isotretinoin 20mg capsules, a retinoid (vitamin A-derived medication), are prescribed for severe acne unresponsive to alternative therapies. Dosage and treatment duration should strictly follow your physician's instructions. Administer the capsule with food, ideally at the same time daily for consistent absorption. Significant improvement may take weeks; continued regular use is crucial for optimal results. Consult your doctor if no improvement is observed after several weeks. Common side effects, such as dry skin, rashes, and elevated liver enzymes, are typically mild and transient. However, persistent or bothersome side effects warrant medical attention. Increased sun sensitivity is possible; minimize sun exposure and protect your skin. Skin fragility may also occur; avoid waxing, laser treatments, and other potentially irritating procedures. Dryness of the eyes, mouth, and lips is possible; hydration and moisturizers are recommended. Due to the risk of birth defects, pregnant or planning-to-conceive individuals must consult their doctor before use.
